Livin' In A Hut

Back to top

I've got an ugly liver from drinkin' too much
I've got a painful sliver from thinkin' too much
Oh, I don't want to go on livin' in this rut
I think I'll go out and build me a hut, but---

Curiosity has got me
Tied up right back where it wants me
And all the things that people do
Make me think I haven't got a clue

I've got a real good sense for seekin' out the booze
But I can't afford to buy a pair of shoes
And when I get some cash it's already been spent
Oh, I can smoke and drink but I can't pay my rent

I've got an ugly liver from drinkin' too much
I've got a painful sliver from thinkin' too much
Oh, I don't want to go on livin' in this rut
I think I'll go out and build me a hut, but---

Curiosity has got me
Tied up right back where it wants me
And all the things that people do
Make me think I haven't got a clue

I'm Addicted

Back to top

One, two, three, four

Look around this dirty town
Drink it up 'til we fall down
Don't wanna live forever this way
But it's gonna have to do for today

Oh, I'm addicted
A As I want to be
I'm addicted
As I want to be
I'm addicted
As I want to be
I'm addicted
As I want to be

Before that hurried call
I had my back against the wall
No, don't wanna be shown
Go out and learn your own

Oh, I'm addicted
A As I want to be
I'm addicted
As I want to be
I'm addicted
As I want to be
I'm addicted
As I want to be

One, two, three, four

Before that hurried call
I had my back against the wall
No, don't want to be shown
Go out and learn your own

Oh, I'm addicted
As I want to be
I'm addicted
As I want to be
I'm addicted
As I want to be
I'm addicted
As I want to be

Oh, I'm addicted
A As I want to be
I'm addicted
As I want to be
I'm addicted
As I want to be
I'm addicted

Sunshine of Your Love

Back to top

It's gettin' near dawn
The lights close their tired eyes
I'll soon be with you, my love
To give you my dawn surprise.
I'll be with you, darling, soon,
I'll be with you when the stars start falling.

I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love

I'm with you, my love.
The light shinin' through on you
Yes, I'm with you, my love
It's the mornin' and just we two
I'll stay with you, darlin', now
I'll stay with you till my seeds are dried up

I've been waitin' so long
To be where I'm goin'
In the sunshine of your love

I'm with you, my love
The light shinin' through on you
Yes, I'm with you, my love
it's the mornin' and just we two
I'll stay with you, darlin', now
I'll stay with you till my seeds are dried up

I've been waitin' so long
I've been waitin' so long
I've been waitin' so long
to be where I'm goin'
in the sunshine of your love

Hardsores

Back to top

I don't know what you want
You and your silly stuff
You saved your mouth for me
And wished you were dead
And every single time
You blow your mind
With my laughin' glue

I don't know who you are
I don't see any pros
You got a silly trick
Then get a puberty dick
And every time you ate
You have to masturbate
Oh, you know it well

Wait, don't stop

And now I'm done with this
And it's so vicious
You criticize my view
Then criticize my tune
I forget there's just one thing
That medicine
Oh, it's all out on you

Hammerin' Eggs (the Metal Song)

Back to top

--Instrumental--



Don't Fear the Reaper

Back to top

All our times have come
Here but now they're gone
Seasons don't fear the reaper
Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain
We can be like they are

Come on baby
Don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand
Don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly
Don't fear the reaper
Baby, I'm your man

Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity
Romeo and Juliet

40,000 men and women everyday
Like Romeo and Juliet
40,000 men and women everyday
Redefine happiness
Another 40,000 coming everyday
We can be like they are

Come on baby
don't fear the reaper
Baby take my hand
Don't fear the reaper
We'll be able to fly
Don't fear the reaper
Baby I'm your man

Love of two is one
Here but now they're gone
Came the last night of sadness
And it was clear she couldn't go on
Then the door was open and the wind appeared
The candles blew then disappeared
The curtains flew then he appeared
Saying don't be afraid

Come on baby
And she had no fear
And she ran to him
Then they started to fly
They looked backward and said goodbye
She had become like they are
She had taken his hand
She had become like they are
Come on baby
Don't fear the reaper

Beat Me

Back to top

Beat me, Jenny, beat me slowly now
Beat me, Jenny, don't you know
I said, beat me, Jenny, beat me slowly, now
Beat me, Jenny, don't you know

I didn't love you
All of the time
But now you left me
And it's a crime

Sha ma ma ma, I ain't beaten now
Sha ma ma ma, don't you know, I said
Sha ma ma ma, I ain't beaten now
Sha ma ma ma, don't you know

Beat me, Jenny, beat me slowly now
Beat me, Jenny, don't you know
I said, beat me, Jenny, beat me slowly now
Beat me, Jenny, don't you know

I coulda loved you
I didn't try
You made me happy
Oh, I've gotta fly

Back to top



Scream

Back to top

See me scream a thousand screams
Every time I start to dream
Scream and dream of my little love
Oh, I gotta find my glove

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

See me think, then you interrupt
Wrap it up, put me back in my trunk
Turned ill from hatred fifty times
Oh, we're goin' down in my screamin' mind

I lay awake in a cold, cold sweat
Rollin' around in the sheets and screamin' wet
Oh my God, here it comes
Another dream Another, another one...

Slaughterhouse

Back to top

And if the accident will
Well, we'll both fade away
And I'll leave ya still
And we will both be safe

Say you're safe
Your life will pass away
Only to be saved
By another's lonely stay

All the flowers I can grow
And all the children's tears
And everything I know
Will vanish with the years

Say you're safe
Your life will pass away
Only to be saved
By another's lonely stay

And if the accidents will
Well, we'll both fade away
But the trees will grow
Until my dyin' day

All the flowers I can grow
And all the children's tears
And everything I know
Will vanish with the years

Say you're safe
Your life will pass away
Only to be saved
By another's lonely stay

Back to top



Different Light

Back to top

Brand new goo goo goo dolls

See me in a different light
I think it'll be okay
Why are you so blind that you
Can only see today

See me in a different space
That you'd expect to see
Then maybe you'd be taken in by
Ever so close to me

See me with a different face
That I've had in my past
Criticize the other jerks
Who make this madness last

See me in a different light
(You're so blind)
See me in a different light
(You're so blind)
See me in a different light (You're so blind)
See me in a different light
(You're so blind)

See me in a different light
(You're so blind)
See me in a different light
(You're so blind)
See me in a different light (You're so blind)
See me in a different light
(You're so blind)

Come On

Back to top

Come on and show me
Just what you mean to me
Come on and show me
Your daily atrophy
Come on and show me
Just what I mean to you
Come on and show me
Just what you are

Come on and hold me
Just like you used to do
Come on and squeeze me
When I make love with you
Come on and show me
I picked out who you are
Come on and blame me
I like it now

-solo-

Come on and stroke me
Just like you whip your pet
Come on and show me
I ain't seen nothin' yet
Come on and show me
I don't know where I'll go
Come on and show me
I wanna know

Don't Beat My Ass (With A Baseball Bat)

Back to top

Things don't look too good to me
I feel I'm outta luck
And all because of swollen glands
And just one stupid f*ck

This wacko came from Alabamy
That's not where it's at
And now your jock's been chasin' me 'round
With a great big baseball bat

Don't kick my ass
Don't kick my ass
Don't kick my ass with a baseball bat, no

Don't kick my ass
Don't kick my ass
Don't kick my ass with a baseball bat, no

Well I was in the mood for some lovin' bulk
Not a rasslin' match with a some big hulk
And this here dude, he was an uncool cat
And he beat me by my head with a baseball bat

Don't kick my ass
Don't kick my ass
Don't kick my ass with a baseball bat, no!

Don't kick my ass
Don't kick my ass
Don't kick my ass with a baseball bat, no

Don't kick my ass
Don't kick my ass
Don't kick my ass with a baseball bat, no

Don't kick my ass
Don't kick my ass
Don't kick my ass with a baseball bat, no

When I got up from bein' beat to the ground
I started itchin' around like a blue-tick hound
And I was aghast at what I found
The latest social disease that's been goin' around

I'll kick your ass (I'll kick your ass)
I'll kick your ass (I'll kick your ass)
I'll kick your ass with a baseball bat, bitch!

I'll kick your ass (I'll kick your ass)
I'll kick your ass (I'll kick your ass)
I'll kick your ass with a baseball bat, bitch!

I'll kick your ass (I'll kick your ass)
I'll kick your ass (I'll kick your ass)
I'll kick your ass with a baseball bat, bitch!

I'll kick your ass (I'll kick your ass)
I'll kick your ass (I'll kick your ass)
I'll kick your ass with a baseball bat, bitch!
